Safety, trust & environment

As a pet parent myself, I understand that your pet's wellbeing is what's most important. I'm a reliable caregiver and I'll always look after them as if they are my own. Besides providing fresh food and water, and cleaning litter boxes and other pet messes, they'll also get plenty of play time and exercise, good walks, back scratches and belly rubs. In the summer, if temperatures exceed 90 degrees (and in the winter if temps drop below freezing or if there's ice on the ground), dog walks will be shortened for their safety; I will provide your pup with a quick potty break and then have indoor play time and/or supervised backyard time for the duration of the booking. I'm here to become a friend for your fur baby and provide them with a relaxing, safe and fun time whenever you're away from home!

Information Lori O. would like to know about your pet

Any and all information about your pet’s needs, medical issues and temperament will be beneficial for me to properly care for and build a friendship with your loved one.

A typical day

Depending on your dog's personality and requirements, we can do play time in your backyard, casual walks around the neighborhood or stimulating exercise on a walking trail. And whether your cat is shy and just wants basic needs met, or wants lots of extra love and attention, I'm more than happy to accommodate in any way that makes them comfortable and satisfied while respecting their space and your home. I will also send plenty of photos and updates to give you peace of mind! When you have to be away from your pets, as a house sitter I can provide them with safety, security and companionship so you have one less thing to worry about while you’re gone. I can accompany your pets overnight, giving them the attention and care they need so they’re not alone for an extended period of time. They get to stay in the environment in which they’re most familiar and comfortable and I can adhere to their regular schedules while you’re away.

Pet care experience

As far back as I can remember, I've always loved animals. I was raised with cats, starting at the age of 5. I rescued my first fur babies, Buffy and Angel, 8 years ago and recently adopted another family member – a kitten named Sweet Dee. I have experience working in an animal shelter, as well as pet sitting and dog walking. Whatever your pet needs, that's what I'm here for! Rest assured I’ll follow your pet care instructions, be respectful of your home, and communicate with you as often as you feel comfortable while you’re away. Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions and schedule a meet & greet so we can learn more about each other and your pet before we take the next step. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give you the peace of mind knowing that your loved one is in good hands.

Lori was great at finding my newly acquired shy cat. I was very happy to receive pictures reassuring me that she was ok. Great service all around.
